Or post about it on here, as the OP did, and give RS a chance to do the work of proving it's genuine. And give kev a chance to say it would never have happened in his day ...

Westonkev is so clueless and dismissive that he'll probably get a job in banking. Ha ha, perhaps. But for those that have been on here since the early days, most will know I was very active on this forum as a representative of RateSetter (even before that had such a tag). I'd like to think I helped provide reassurance to many lenders, or just dismiss one of the thousands of conspiracy theories that was constant flying around. Or Propman's constant warnings of doom and gloom about the Provision Fund. Or constant moans about market manipulation, or why someone else nabbed their 6.1%..... It was NEVER ENDING. Thing is, as a banker life is/was so much easier. As CRO of RateSetter my bad debt numbers were published online for all to see (I'm responsible for 2013-2016), I was lending real peoples money and it was clear who I was personally. My LinkedIN profile was public and there was no hiding. It was a career risk to have ones performance so publicly available. Life in banking was much easier, a bad month or year was easily hidden and unknown outside of the banks walls. Grab a bonus no matter what, secure pension and never have to deal with individuals. I tweaked portfolios with the shift of a score or data variable, never reviewing an individuals single application. However, It's lucky that I'm rock hard. As this level of transparency could cause extreme stress and there are not many "bankers" willing to put themselves in the open like this. Life in the bank was certainly much easier, just not as much fun... Kevin. Wow - will have to add defensive to 'clueless and dismissive'! And that 'However, it's lucky that I'm rock hard' adds pretentious!

Yes, I remember you, coogaruk. Ahh, the good old days of bidding on FC.

I use Jarvis Share Deal Active but it has an odd thing: the portfolio valuation has crazy figures if they do not happen to get live prices for a fund. Can't get a coherent explanation by phone for this - anyone else find this a pain?

Actually the problem for P2P is that we are not part of a 'systemically important' financial institution like a bank. Banks will always get baled out because they can stop the payment system working. That's the gun they always have in their pocket waiting to put at the head of the government. P2P lenders and the P2P platforms have no such gun available. But why does the bale out have to take the form of a gift to the bank? Why doesn't the government get a stake in the business?

My all time average from the past 14 years is £51.70 a month (1.53% average return a month).
But I won just the 1 x £25 for May and zero for Apr. Did better earlier in the year with £150 for March, £100 for Feb and £75 for Jan (all in 25s). My total for last year was £875. I have the maximum amount. A friend of mine won a £500 last month.
Somebody who is not a friend of mine won £1m last month

As an aside, I notice that I am no longer being logged out by RS after around 20 mins of inactivity. This suits me. Perhaps RS are looking for ways to reduce server load though a few hundred loggings out and loggings in shouldn't be flogging their servers significantly.

Yes, I know it seems strange. It is one option that we re looking at to deal with the fund holder being elderly and the Lendy administration likely to take many years. Transferring the holding to a younger family member might make sense.

Have read the Terms and searched this site but can't find an answer: is it possible to assign my Lendy holdings to someone else ie just give it all to someone else.

I thought the upside down order of market data might be a subtle(?) attempt to fool the bots.

The footnote in the email included 'Whilst no Lendy investor has been subject to any loss of capital'. Talk about salt and wounds ...
